Split PDF
Extract a page range or break a PDF into separate one-page files.
Loading tool…
Split a large PDF into exactly the parts you need. Choose a page range to pull out into a new document, or split the whole file so every page becomes its own PDF. It is perfect for separating chapters, pulling a single form out of a scan, or breaking a report into shareable pieces. Everything runs locally with pdf-lib, so your file never leaves your device.
Two ways to split a PDF
Splitting means different things depending on what you need. Sometimes you want to pull out a specific section, such as pages 4 to 9 of a long report, and keep them as one new document. Other times you want every single page as its own separate file, which is useful when each page is a different certificate, invoice or form. This tool does both, so you can pick whichever matches your situation.
When splitting saves you trouble
- Sending only the relevant pages instead of a 60-page document.
- Separating a scanned batch where every page is a different record.
- Extracting one form from a bundled application pack.
- Breaking a large file into pieces that fit an upload size limit.
Free, online and private
There is no page limit, no watermark on the output and no signup. Because the split happens entirely in your browser using pdf-lib, your document is never uploaded to a server. That matters a great deal when the PDF is a contract, a medical record or anything with personal details in it.
A tip before you split
Open the PDF first and note the exact page numbers you need, because the numbering shown by your PDF reader is what the tool uses. After splitting, open the new file once to confirm the right pages came through. If you later want to put pieces back together, the Merge PDF tool will recombine them in any order you like.
